Vettam is a comedy-drama loosely based on the movies French Kiss, My Best Friends Wedding, Bellboy and Pyaar To Hona Hi Thaa.

Plot: Gopalakrishnan (Dileep) is a small thief who has stolen a precious chain and is on the run, with a police officer ( Radha Ravi Radha Ravi is a populous actor cum producer in the >> Read More... ) on his trail. On his way to hide in another city and sell it there, he encounters Veena ( Bhavna Pani Bhavna Pani’s father Uday Shanker Pani, left his n >> Read More... ), who is going to the same city to break the marriage of her fiance to a well-to-do man's daughter. Temporarily, Gopi hides the chain in Veena's bag, but later, when it is time to disembark, he can't find it again. So he stays with her and these two become unlikely companions in a long journey, and they don't like each other at the start. But time changes things, and soon they're friends mutually helping each other out. They end up in a hotel in Karnataka and go through a case of mistaken identities together.

Analysis: The movie is full of slapstick humor, which is very popular among the masses. A good part of the movie feels like bits from the director's other movies, but they all come together very well despite this. Priyadarshan- Dileep is a good combination, a surprising change after the nearly thirty movies with the usual Priyadarshan- Mohanlal union. Dileep fits the role and along with the mass of comedians and his lead actress, truly lights up the movie. He has a creditable comedy timing and is a gifted artist.

The lead actress, Bhavna, is a Mumbai model doing her first movie in Malayalam, but she looks like she has good experience already. Despite not knowing the language, she does good lip syncing to the voice of Bhagyalakshmi.The scriptwriter duo Priyadarshan and Siby K. Thomas have added witty dialogues throughout the movie.
